I would like to write this article about two young guys who has very inspired me.

When I established my Zend Framework community on Facebook one young boy started following me. His name is Samuel Matis. One month later we became a very good friends. He loves JavaScript. He told me a lot of about programming and new technologies and motivated me to start with new technologies.

He told me about a lot about JavaScript and new frameworks and about Single Page Web applications. He showed me some his projects. I would like to introduce some of these:

1. For me the most interesting is Langmaster.io — A single page web application with python REST API for learning new words in foreign languages. It should help you learn with easiest and better way and motivate people to come back to learning. It detects words that can be difficult for you and start it with rating. For better results you can see your improvements and graphs with your learning curve. This project is coded also with Peter Parada who has created REST API in Python with Flask framework and MongoDB database. Samuel Matis coded Backbone.js for frontend. I think it is very useful and good application that helps people with learning.

2. Second but also good project is Viera control — Web application for controlling Panasonic Viera TVs with mobile optimized UI and easy REST API.
He created also Node.JS module for controlling Viera TVs for programmers.

Although they are developers they design very good interfaces. I think that every programmer in these days should know a bit about design and good UI/UX principles :)

These boys are really intention to gain the best result with work in programming and although they are only students they developed more (and better) apps then my classmates at school.

When you need advice in JavaScript, Python, MongoDB or made REST API or database design they help you and make it the best for you. I’m sure about it ;)

They started some own projects to show others that programming is not so diffucult as you think and in your free time you can code some useful programs instead of watching Game of Thrones.

You can fork their work on Github.

They would like to go to intern in summer to the Silicon Valley , if you think you can help them, contact them here.
